Today, Kamaishi is a small rural city with a population of 36,000 facing a chronic crisis of depopulation. The March 2011 tsunami and Great East Japan Earthquake brought new urgency to the issues of chronic depopulation and economic restructuring to Kamaishi and the surrounding areas. Kamaishi provides us with an appropriate case study for examining how regional communities have attempted to respond to the key crises facing all of regional post-war Japan: depopulation, industrial restructuring and natural disasters.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an external event, for more details <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soas.ac.uk\/wg-beasley\/04mar2020-crisis-thinking-in-regional-japan--the-case-study-of-kamaishi-city.html\">please visit the SOAS Japan Research Centre website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Responses to Depopulation, Industrial Restructuring and Natural Disasters in Post-war Era \u2013 the case study of Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture Prof Naofumi Nakamura (University of Tokyo) Date:&nbsp;4 March 2020 Time:&nbsp;5:00 PM Finishes:&nbsp;4 March 2020 Time:&nbsp;8:00 PM Venue:\u00a0Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, Daiwa Foundation Japan House, 13\/14 Cornwall Terrace (Outer Circle), London NW1 4QP This lecture examines the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[15,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international-exchange","category-international-cooperation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8663"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8796,"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8663\/revisions\/8796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jlgc.org.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
